From Death Row, Mumia Abu Jamal




"Watching the veins of nature pulse thrugh the night
sea of air, making--if only for milliseconds--daylight
over the hills, I felt renewed. How puny man seemed
beore this divine dance!

I saw, then, that though human powers sought to
strangle and poison me and those around me, they were
powerless. I saw that there is a Power that makes man's
power pale. It is the power of Love; the power of God;
the power of Life. I felt it surging through every pore.

Nature's power prevailed over the man-made, and I felt,
that night, that I would prevail. I would overcome the
State's efforts to silence and kill me."
---From his poem
Death Blossom
